Did anyone else notice the Halo:CE Assault Rifle?!!! Are they bringing old weapons back? I hope I can dual wield still. I loved the weapons balance in Halo 2 and I hope they don't reneg on an awesome gameplay style. Halo:CE as good as it was just lacked the balance, and you know that's true when you can take out everyone with just a pistol. I know there are plent of people that don't agree but that's how I feel.
But I guess this thread should be about possible changes to Halo 3 as opposed to Halo 2.

As much as I would like to see the old AR come back, I think they put it in the trailer merely to avoid putting in a new gun or something from the new game. I doubt they'll bring it back, but it would be sweet as hell.

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,

Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

I'd like to see a fully automatic weapon like the a=old assault rifle, only a bit more powerful. The MA5B could hardly kill flood infection forms!

If you check out the storyboards it seems they intended to put the battle rifle in originally. but then switched it to assault rifle.

I suppose if this is the last halo game then they want the iconic weapons of the first two games in it.. ie the assault rifle and the battle rifle.

Rifles all over the damn place!

Dude, it would be so cool if we had these pregnant sentinels that were, like, all flaming and shot out baby flaming sentinels that would be all "YARRRGH!" then they'd be like, "WHAAAAR" when they shoot.

That'd be sweet.

that assault rifle wasn't the same as the halo 1 assault rifle. It was more of a mix between a shotgun and an assult rifle in look. I think it will be in the actual game being that bungie said that everything in the trailer is part of the actual game. The weapon is probably more accurate like the battle rifle was.

It's not quite the Halo 1 assault rifle. It looks like a mixture of the H1 assault rifle and the H2 battle rifle. Most of the gun resembles the assault rifle, but if you notice the end of the gun looks like a BR.

Possible, or they could also be trying to hint with the story line. In games like chronicles of riddik, sometimes you had to use an older weapon because that is all that was available, maybe that is the same situation. MIlitarys can't just dump weapons, they are phased out as they become available. Maybe his last contact with humans or a combat unit, all they could supply him with was a ma5b.

Thats it. This is the last moronic topic I can handle.

I'm going on a Halo 3 forum vacation.

what would really be cool is if the old assault rifle performed more like the BR (more Power and accuracy) but still had automatic fire and looked like it did in H1. I don't know if im the only one that feels this way, but i personally prefer the LOOKS of the AR over the BR, but i prefer the performance of the BR.

LOve you too man.

In the books it did act like a rifle. The smg was supposed to take its place but some people don't think it worked that well. Personaly, I like the br55 better. Feels like a more precise tool that the chiefs training would need instead of some bullet pounding POS. I guess I'm just not a fan of autos when I can have precision. The reaosn they never combined the 2 types is because it wouldn't be very balanced, it would almost be the power weapon (as close as you could get with halo anyway).
